Title: Drawing Pictures for Axe
Post by: p2 on July 13, 2011, 11:24:11 am

Can anyone Help me?
I try to draw pictures in this funny code [0011001ABC1054332324...] But don't know how.
I always changed something in the code, and wondered about the chacture. but I have no idea how to draw correctly in this code.
For example, how to draw this x-Wing?
(I mean in a 12x8-picture, or something like this.

Spoiler For image:

Easy to explain, hard to do ;D
The funny code is hexadecimal, and supports only black and white; 0 and 1.
First, put your image in binary. Every pixel is changed into a number (1 if black, 0 if white).
Then, translate Binary to Hexadecimal. When you have finished reading it, re-read the first sentence.

If you only make a 8x8 sprite, it is easier to use AxePaint.

HOW?????????

Well, with your numbers, make a multiple of eight lenght by adding zeros (I'm French, so even me doesn't understand what I just said). I mean, If you have 111, do 00000111. If you have 1010010001, do 0000001010010001.
Then, change every pack of four by its hexadecimal equivalent. 0001 becomes 1; 0010 becomes 2; 1000 becomes 8, 1010 becomes A, etc. So 0110010010001101 becomes 648D

EDIT: ???I never used the word "bit" or "byte" in my post :o
And the X-Wing would be too large for the TI I think

Hopefully I'm not repeating a lot.
So, first pad the sprite to a width that's a multiple of 8 if necessary.
Then convert the picture to binary; black is 1, white is 0.
Then, as Hayleia said, you need to put that in hexadecimal, four bits at a time.
If you want a chart, here it is. I do hope you figure out why it's like this, though :)

Binary	Hexadecimal
0000	0
0001	1
0010	2
0011	3
0100	4
0101	5
0110	6
0111	7
1000	8
1001	9
1010	A
1011	B
1100	C
1101	D
1110	E
1111	F

(Maybe I should have done that table horizontally...)

Is there a "Image to Hex Converter" somewhere (for the TI-83+ family) ? To put an image in hex in an appvar for example (I'm talking about 96x64 images) (because I want to avoid the [Pic0]→GDB1 thing and make [thecode]→GDB1).

SourceCoder can convert image files (such as bmp) to hex.

I tried it, it doesn't seem to work :( it gives me only FFs.
I think I'll make it with [Pic0].
Thanks anyway.

Post by: Hayleia on August 08, 2011, 05:52:03 am

Thank you for the help, but there is a problem with this one: it creates an hex code for any image so it first edits the image so it can fit in the calculator, but even if the image was perfect, it edits it, so there are some precisions of the image that are killed.
In another topic, Welcome to the forum, you should go here (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?board=10.0) and introduce yourself

sorry for the necropost ^^
BUT
the tool I found don't really work indeed, as Haleyia said, so I tried the sourcecoder one that Josjuice gave, and it works !
You just have to browse to your bmp, and that's it, it seems to be able to give you some grayscales hexcode, but i just tried with a B/W pic, so I don't know.

So, p2, you can use this one http://www.cemetech.net/projects/basicelite/sourcecoder2.php (http://www.cemetech.net/projects/basicelite/sourcecoder2.php) (no need of german, cuz' you'll have anything to do but upload your bmp)

Source coder won't give me the hex code for an image that is larger than 96x64.

Any other tool that would work ?

You could break it down into smaller images and splice it together...

Yes but then, I'll have to think about which hex part goes where, and I am too lazy for that :P
Anyway, what I wanted to do wouldn't work :( but thanks for trying :)

There are different ways to draw pictures in Axe. For 8x8 sprites you can use the Axe sprite painter. The program HEXPIC in the Axe Download file converts a 8x8 sprite to hex.

Runner112 has written a multi greyscale sprite to hex converter. The sprites can have the size 8x8 or 16x16. Here (http://http:/www.omnimaga.org/the-axe-parser-project/sprite-helpers/) is the Tread to this cool tool. The download is on page 2.

For other sizes you can use the "Data(" command:

:Data(96,64)->GDB1
:[HEXCODE]
:.Drawing on screen
:Bitmap(X,Y,GDB1
:DispGraph

If you want to draw an 96x64 sprite, the size of the Hexcode is (96x64)/4

But has your screen realy 96 pixels in a line?

That thread was 2 years old. Didn't you see the red text saying that no posts were made in it since more than 120 days ? That was an implicit way of saying "don't post here unless you have a very good reason".

Title: Re: Drawing Pictures for Axe
Post by: Hayleia on March 25, 2014, 12:04:14 pm

And your post absolutely doesn't answer the question because you say "put [HEXCODE] then use Bitmap", but the question was "how to get the hex code other than converting byte per byte ?"

Post by: josh landers on March 26, 2014, 10:34:15 am

Yah necro-thread!
Ok so I use MS-paint to resize the image to the size, make sure that you use the pixel resize though. And your good to upload!
Step 1 resize and turn in to greyscale.
Step 2 Upload to source coder

The problem with SourceCoder is that it is online. I can't use it when I am in a train.

Drawing an OS Pic and importing it with [var] is also a good idea.

Title: Re: Drawing Pictures for Axe
Post by: Hayleia on March 26, 2014, 12:53:54 pm

Except when you have at least 10 projects using at least one picture. Another possibility is to "convert" the Pic into an appvar using a simple program, but that is not as convenient as it would be to drag and drop an image file onto a program that would return hex code to just copy paste.

Thankfully over here there are three bus lines and the boat that have wi-fi. The only issue, though, is that sometimes wi-fi isn't working and during rush hour, they bring in a few extra bus vehicles that have no wi-fi in them. Plus I don't know if my phone has enough RAM to use SourceCoder nor if it can save 8xp files anyway. :P

There is also Token that can generate pics, right? That said, it's for windows so unless you got a laptop it isn't as portable as the real calc.

If Moral of the story=your ever on a train boat or plane.
use graphpaper and convert to binary then to hex
Else use source coder
